CaseApp Custom iPhone Cases

Since I got my 6s Plus, I have found it difficult to find cute cases which are going to keep my phone protected which is where CaseApp comes in. It's a website which you can create custom any iPhone case/laptop skin and I have made two cases which I have been obsessed with - I am so impressed with the quality!

February 2017 Favourites

Month two of 2017 has been and gone and it has been a good month for makeup! This month I have so many new favourites from products I purchased last month or within the beginning of this month and I have been obsessed with them. If you are looking for some new beauty products, these are some of my must-haves that you need to have in your collection!

Calcot Manor Spa Accessories at Tesco

At Tesco, they have recently launched a huge new selection of skincare as well as spa accessories. I love products like this for having a pamper but they can be very expensive. This new range from Calcot Manor at Tesco is extremely affordable and I have been so impressed with the three products from the range that I have been trying out recently.

Garnier PureActive Sensitive Anti-Blemish Skincare

I love trying out new skincare as I am always trying to improve my skin. One of my main skin issues is acne and discolouration and these three products sounded right up my street. Garnier is such an affordable brand and the micellar water is one of my all time favourite products so I had high hopes for these and over the past 28 days I have been putting them to the test!

Tesco Anti-Ageing Caviar Skincare & Bodycare

There is so much new skincare in Tesco and I have been so impressed with all of the new launches, all of which are very affordable! All of these products are from the Anti-Aging range so I have had my Mum put these to the test for the past couple of weeks and she has been very impressed.

Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Cream

I can't believe that I had never tried the much loved Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Cream until just a few weeks ago, where have I been?! Everybody I know has raved about the product so I couldn't wait to try it for myself. This is one of those products which is perfect to keep in your handbag as it can be used for so many different uses.

Favourite Bronzers for Lighter Skin Tones

Having such a light complexion means bronzer is a staple in my makeup bag and something I try not to often skip otherwise I get questioned five times a day if I am feeling okay? But bronzers can be pretty difficult to use on paler skin tones as many are too dark but these are my favourites of the moment, if you have a lighter skin tone, I would highly recommend all of these!

Foreo ISSA Sonic Electric Toothbrush

Ever since I was little, I have always worried about losing my teeth so I keep them extra clean at all times. I honestly can't go to sleep if I haven't brushed my teeth which isn't a bad habit to have! More recently, I have noticed my gums to be a little sensitive and I was in desperate need of a new toothbrush which is where Foreo comes in.

Too Faced Love Flush Blushes

I seem to be doing nothing but talking about Too Faced this month and I just can't help it! I am obsessed and Too Faced has quickly become one of my absolute favourite brands and I still have so much left to try! I have been using these blushes for almost two months now and I am in love with them which doesn't even surprise me as I love everything from Too Faced!

NEW Burt's Bees Lipsticks

Lipsticks and lip products in general, are my weakness, I just can't get enough! Burt's Bees have recently launched a brand new line of lipsticks in 18 gorgeous shades. I have been using these three shades for a few weeks now and I have been so impressed with them. What is great about these lipsticks is that they are natural and super hydrating!

Color Wow Root Cover Up

I have been dying my hair dark for over five years which can be very high maintenance when your hair is almost blonde naturally. I always rely on products similar to this to keep my roots covered in between dyes but some don't leave the hair feeling very nice so I am always trying new things which is where Color Wow comes in.

NoMakeNoLife Unboxing // Japanese Beauty Box

I have always adored Japanese beauty so what could be a better way than to try out a Japanese beauty box, NoMakeNoLife! This is a brand new beauty box and I have been so impressed with it, you get such a great range of products and it is great way to try out some Japanese beauty products!

What I Got For My Birthday 2017

I can't believe I am now 23, I do feel a little bit old now I must admit! I got well and truly spoiled this year and I always love writing these posts as it is great to look back on. I got some really lovely presents and possibly the best card ever (thank you Chelsea!) so I thought I would share a couple today.

Too Faced x Kat Von D Better Together Collection

When two of your favourite brands collaborate, you know you are going to be obsessed. This is a collab I have been waiting for, what feels like years, to launch in the UK and it is finally available! Too Faced and Kat Von D have teamed up to create three limited edition kits and sets because, it's better together. When I first found out the prices on this launch, I did think it was a little expensive but having tried the products I do think it is worth every penny!

Too Faced Chocolate Bar Palette Review (+ Swatches)

It's my birthday today, hooray for being 23! And today I am going talk about one of my favourite palettes at the moment, the Too Faced Chocolate Bar Palette! I received this a couple of weeks ago and I have been obsessed with it and using it almost every day, I can't believe I hadn't ever had it! Not only are the shades lovely but it also smells good enough to eat.

Current Favourite Blushes

I love blushes and I seem to have a fair few in my collection from all price range and brands! All of these blushes are my current favourites and work so well on my lighter skin tone. If you are looking for a new blush to try whether you have £1 or £30, there is a blush in this post for you, some of these I have had for years and some are newer to my collection which I have been really enjoying.

Know Cosmetics First Impressions

I had never heard of Know Cosmetics until I was watching one of Tati's videos recently and since then I knew I had to try out some products. Funnily enough, she actually then included one of these products in a video on products she hates but I LOVE it which just goes to show not everybody will like the same things.

La Roche Posay Sensitive Eyes Makeup Remover & Mascara

It's no secret how much I love La Roche Posay and it is one of the few brands that I trust when it comes to skincare. The Effaclar Duo+ and Serozinc are two of my all time favourite products and are such game changers when it comes to acne prone skin. These two new products from the brand haven't disappointed me and if you have sensitive eyes, you are going to want to try this new mascara!

Nugg Charcoal Detoxifying Face Mask

I have been loving Nugg products recently and their face masks are some of my favourites, I am so happy that they are easy to get hold of in the UK now as they are stocked at Beauty Bay and Selfridges. What I love about Nugg masks is that they come individual blisters so you get a full use out of a product before trying something else. I have so many face masks that I am trying to get through so I like these as it means I won't be wasting any product.

White & Nude Nails

I used to always love bright and bold nails but recently all I have worn on my nails is nude and white and I am loving the change! I don't think I will be going back to bright nails anytime soon so I will have to get a few more nude shades to add to this selection. These are my top picks for white and nude nails and there is something for every price range.

Color Wow Sprays

I love trying new hair products, I do colour treat my hair regularly and while washing it daily and using heat on it. It is extremely long too so I like to find products that aren't going to weigh my hair down. I have always heard good things about Color Wow so I am really enjoying these three products.

Super Facialist Salicylic Acid Mask & Scrub

Even though my skin is a lot better than what it has been recently, I do still struggle with some acne on my skin, especially on my chin. I had recently tried one of the Rose Mask from Super Facialist and had been so impressed with it but these two products have wowed me. If you have acne prone skin, these are definitely some products that you need to give a try.

So...? Fragrance Mists

Back in my early teens, all I used to wear was So.. Kiss Me Body Spray and was never without a bottle of it in my school bag! Fast forward a few years and now I am back wearing So...? products! I love fragrance mists and always prefer them over perfumes and these are some really good affordable options!

Ecotools Brushes

Ecotools have recently had a rebrand and I am loving the updated packaging which has been done to celebrate ten years of the brand! The packaging now has a fresh and modern feel and the brushes have also been slightly upgraded with sleek colour changes to the brush ferrules and the brush handles are now sleeker than ever. To celebrate ten years of EcoTools, they have released a gorgeous limited edition anniversary set which retails for £19.99 at Boots and Superdrug which will be available from the 1st of March 2017.

Violet Voss Holy Grail Palette Review + Swatches

Chelsea made me buy it, this purchase is solely her fault but I am so glad she convinced me to order this - why didn't I get my hands on it sooner! Laura Lee Palette...I am coming for you next! I have heard such good things about the Violet Voss eyeshadow palettes and I haven't been disappointed, I much prefer this palette over any of my Urban Decay palettes and the pigmentation is so much better!

Brush Works The Complete Blender Sponge Set

The only way I like to apply my foundation and concealer is with a beauty sponge. While I am a long time fan of the Beauty Blender, I love trying out more affordable options and these are pretty good! I really like that this is a complete set of sponges as it is all you need to apply your foundation as well as your concealer.

January 2017 Degustabox

As soon as I found out the short list for this box, I was already excited! There are some of my favourite products in this box in some new flavours too so I couldn't wait to tuck in. If you don't know what Degustabox is, it is a food and drink subscription box where each month you receive a surprise box of goodies tailored to your likes and dislikes, I always love getting these boxes so that I can try new things that I wouldn't usually buy myself.

Kind Natured Shampoo, Conditioner & Shower Gel

Kind Natured isn't a brand I had previously tried but I have been really liking these three products in the few weeks that I have been using them! My hair is such a pain so I am always up for trying new shampoo and conditioner and I can never have enough body wash.

Accessorize Lovelily Perfume

Fragrances are one of my favourite beauty products and I find a lot of them to be on the expensive side so I never really purchase many. I have shopped in Accessorize since my early teens, I remember going nuts over the Lily Cole collection and getting the black and white handbag which I still have somewhere, but I never knew that they also have fragrances.

Valentine's Day Beauty

With Valentine's Day just a week away, if you have a date night planned or just fancy treating yourself to some new makeup, I have got you covered! These products are super cute and perfect for Valentine's Day and of course - I love anything with a heart design! There is also a product for every price point to get festive this Valentine's Day.

Too Faced x Skinny Dip London

If you are a Too Faced obsessive like I am, you might remember seeing this super cute makeup bag on the co-founder of Too Faced's Instagram page, @jerrodblandino, back in October and I knew then that I was going to want it just from that sneak peak alone. From today until the 9th February 2017, you can get your hands on this adorably cute makeup bag with a selection of Too Faced's most popular products!

Too Faced Sweet Peach Glow Palette & Gloss

I feel like I waited forever for this collection to launch in the UK as I had read online that it was launching on Boxing Day but it got pushed back to mid-January. On launch day I was stalking the Debenhams website to get hold of the Glow Palette and a gloss and I have been loving them. Surprisingly to me, I have heard some mixed reviews but I haven't been at all disappointed!

Crown Brush Rose Gold Full Face Contour Set

While I have tried a few different brands of this style of brush, these are by far my favourite - and not just because they are a gorgeous rose gold colour! Having been so impressed with one of the Crown Brush palettes, I couldn't wait to try out some brushes from the brand and I haven't been disappointed.

Blank Canvas Brushes & Sponge

I have always really liked everything that I have tried from the Blank Canvas brand so I couldn't wait to start using a few more tools! The F39 brush from the brand is one of my must-have brushes for any powder applications and who doesn't want super cute brushes? These three new additions to my collection have already been put to great use!

NEW Zoeva Brow Products & Mascara

Zoeva has launched a huge selection of new products recently from brushes to palettes and a huge range of brow products. I am always looking to find new brow products as naturally, I have the worst brows and need all the help I can get! Zoeva has got you covered for every brow need with these new launches.

Fab Brows Contour Kit (+ Swatches)

While I am very late to the contouring party, I have finally found a selection of products that make it very easy for a beginner like me. One of the main issues I was having with contour kits was the shade selection, I have very fair/pale skin and many of the contouring products and palettes on the market were just too dark for me to use but this one has been perfect.

Carmex Lip Balms

Can you believe I have never tried Carmex?! How have my lips survived this long without it! Carmex is a well-loved brand in the UK and it seems almost everybody I know uses and loves their products. My lips are dry almost all of the time but recently they had been even drier and nothing would help, until I started using Carmex.

What I Bought Last Month #1

Instead of doing the odd small haul throughout the month, I thought I would start a new series of doing a collective haul of all the things that I picked up during the previous month. This way, I can talk about them in a little more detail as I would have been able to try them out and put them to the test. I had been feeling a little spendy in January, I blame my friend Kat for a fair few of these purchases!
